Based in Taiwan, I am a world traveler who is passionate to learn everything from different parts of the world. I am also a huge fan of economics, and I recently received the first individual gold medal at the International Economic Olympiad in the history of Taiwan!

I have watched TED talks since five years old. It is the best thing that I do every day during my spare time. Other than being a TEDx event organizer, I am also a TED-Ed Club founder and educator for four years at Dominican International School, guiding the students with their creative TED presentations. I also care greatly about the social issues around us and constantly initiate different meaningful discussions between the TED-Ed Clubs around the world, inviting students from Singapore, Malaysia, Russia, India, Indonesia, and many more countries to come together for different discussions and exchanges. During the anti-bullying week at our school, I invited all my club members to create a monologue on raising awareness of bullying, which gained over 15k views on YouTube after being published by the TED-Ed Student Talks YouTube channel. My other projects include my invitation to two other TED-Ed Clubs in India to sing "Heal the World" and "Blackbird" online together to support the disturbed community. I later edited and published the video, which was featured in the TED-Ed Student Newsletter! During my spare time, I also transcribe TED talk!
